Home For the Holidays

I nodded off on one of my flights, and woke up to this beauty. I have yet to take an East to West flight where I’m chasing the sunset, but this one got pretty close! Amazing sunsets really never cease to amaze me 🙂 .

Let’s just say nap was much needed after a very, very fun Thursday afternoon and evening.

The mens and women’s teams got together to play our annual mixed-doubles holiday tournament, followed by some festivities later on that night. It was such a fun last practice, and so great to see everyone dressed up in holiday gear 🙂 .

Home

One of my favourite things about being home (besides writing blog posts in my PJ’s 🙂 ) is going to my favourite restaurants and making my own favourite food!

It was incredibly creamy!! Next time I’d add some coconut extract, and maybe decrease the amount of banana. Still, it made a ton of smoothie, so much so I gave the leftovers to my dad!

Workouts

Yesterday morning around 11, I laced up my shoes and drove down to my favourite local running trail around Elk and Beaver lakes.

The Elk lake/Beaver lake trail is a 10k loop, and it’s in perfect condition. For being located at the edge of a highway, it’s remarkable that you don’t hear any highway noise at all when you’re not running right along that small portion.

It was about 5 degrees Celsius outside, which sounds pretty cold, but thanks to my light-weight Lulu vest, I was kept perfectly toasty! (Minus my hands… they were pretty frozen by the end. Note to self- wear gloves!)

Well, that’s all from me this morning! My plans today include some squash (probably solo hitting and court movement), and then a Sufferfest session with Ken later on. (Wish me luck!)

Hope your Monday is off to a great start!

Questions:

If you don’t live at home, what do you look forward to doing when you go home? Any restaurants you like to check out? Any favourite running or biking trails?

Elk lake is one of my favourite runs. I appreciate that once you’re halfway done you have to finish the full 10 km in order to get back to your car! haha that spinach with goat’s cheese sounds delicious. I can’t wait to go home and sleep in, have lazy coffee mornings then get some good runs in too
